## Opinion text

Judge McAdam held that it was apparent, that book-making (so called) was only another name for gambling, and that all contracts made in furtherance of bets and wagers were illegal and void, and that no recovery could be had upon them in a court of justice. He therefore dismissed the complaint.
Cited with approval by N. Y. supreme court, in Murphy v. Board of Police (Daily Reg. March 37, 1883; 11 Abb. N. C. 340 ).
